Homosexual pastor replaces Billy Graham as advisor to President

By the way, just because you disagree with someone's theology or interpretations of the Bible doesn't mean that they aren't a Christian. I'm sure a lot of people don't agree with your theology or interpretations of the Bible. The Bible is all about the marginalized, and you seem to be against them. So get off of your high horse and stop being so discriminatory. To be a Christian is to believe in God and to accept Jesus Christ as your savior. Everything else beyond that can be classified as sins of a Christian.

You got it, MntlWard, this is how the Obama haters show their graciousness. It's a shame they couldn't follow the lead of the man they supported, John McCain, who ws very gracious in his concession speech and last night on Jay Leno's show. It's strange how some people who like to define themselves by their Christianity find it so impossible to follow that one rule that summed up Jesus's teachings perfectly, the Golden Rule as you posted above. Anyone can follow that, regardless of their religious faith or lack thereof, but too few do. That would make Jesus more sad than Obama having a homosexual pastor as his adviser, I have no doubt.

OK, I read the article. Yeah, I don't feel any better.

Although I know pandering for votes has gone on for more years than I've been alive, even I can't believe how far this successful campaign went to reach every single group they could think of. Did no one think that with his promises to every group and how so many of them didn't mesh, eventually Obama would have to take sides? Which will inevitably cause the wrath of several groups he gave his promises to and has now broken them. I keep thinking back to Jesse Jackson forgetting his microphone was on in an interview, and talking to his companion about how Obama was pandering to black people. Of course that might have been sour grapes, but still...

From my understanding, Billy stepped down on his own accord...unless Obama asked him to and he has not made it public knowledge. On the other hand if you were Billy Graham, and 90 years of age, would you really think that the most liberal president in history would have any use for your spiritual advice? Obama did seek the advice of the gay bishop three times during his campaign...so it certainly looks like he is replacing him even if non-officially. Once he is in the White House, I am sure it will be official. Maybe Billy Graham heard about this and decided it was time to step down due to the obvious. I wonder how long Obama knew this gay bishop before he went seeking his advice. Or maybe he chose to seek his advice only because he was gay and wanted gay votes.

Thankyou! very well said!

Yes, we certainly are. Film at 11.

Thank goodness for the changes. If Obama sat in his office and did absolutely nothing....it'd still be better than what Bush did. If he can reduce the discrimination ....all the power to him. It is hateful and inhumane.

Do you have proof that such discrimination has actually existed in the White House?

I will always argue against people who consistantly misrepresent the gay community. Your obsession with the community will keep me coming back. Hope you like me.

But you must realllllllllly like me because you are starting to respond to more than one of my discussions! It's like bad food. If I don't like it, I don't go back for more. lol
